It used to be enough, at least on pure64, but I can see it in Joe's
results for x86_64, so point taken.

A quick look in autoconf-lib-link/ suggests that @CFLAGS@ are picked
up during configure, so if we are going to do it more cleanly we
will either pass CC="gcc ${BUILD64} -fPIC" or CFLAGS="-fPIC" to
configure. Either of these will probably cause the whole compile to
use -fPIC, I hope that is not a problem, but it needs to be tested.
I guess CFLAGS is a safer idea, if it works.
Anybody able to test any of this ?

I think you should get yourself an account at trac.cross-lfs.org
and open a ticket for this. You might also want to ticket your
earlier comments about the perl test failures when booting without
'ip'.
